Entrepreneurial Litigation

Discover the intriguing world of class actions in "Entrepreneurial Litigation" by John C., Jr Coffee, published by Harvard University Press in 2015. This thought-provoking book spans 320 pages and delves into the dynamics of how attorneys operate within class actions, where they often hire clients instead of merely acting as their agents. Coffee explores the complexities of lawyer-financed, lawyer-controlled, and lawyer-settled cases, highlighting the potential for attorneys to prioritize their interests. However, his aim is not to eliminate class actions but to enhance their effectiveness and accountability. "Entrepreneurial Litigation" is essential reading for those interested in understanding the balance of power in legal proceedings and the implications for private law enforcement.
